Depends completely upon the circumstances surrounding the dogs death.
Constantly at our home. We continue to feed her but due to her being pregnant she won’t let my dogs eat. Are we allowed to get her fixed without our neighbors permission? She has no collar or identification.

If you can capture the dog on your property running loose with no tags and ID, you can have her spayed and turned over to animal services.
Do I have any recourse ? The dog is on cable and can’t reach street and is completely harmless but does bark when people come by.

If he persists in coming I to your yard, take a criminal complaint for trespass.

The breeder took care of microchipping and AKC registration. 3 days after we brought the dog home, the breeder informed us they have listed themselves as a second contact on the... View More

Probably no liability for you. Rescues and some breeders list themselves as a second contact when registering a microchip or a dog so there are more avenues of contact if the dog is lost. You have the dog....and possession is 9/10 of the law.
dog owner had been told by me and the County ACO to keep his dog up.
The dogs never leave our yard because they are trained not to. Plus they are never on leases cause there is no need for it. But the neighbor keep calling the pound on us. No she had threatened to take us to court over it.

You May lose your dog. You are obligated to control your dog at all times and you are responsible for all damage your dog does. If the injured dog survives, you might slide by without your dog being euthanized.

Do you have somewhere safe you can keep the dog that is not at your house? If so, you should move him there for safekeeping and so no one can take him from you until the ownership is established. I sincerely doubt that they will get a warrant, but if they do, the dog won’t be there. Don’t... View More

They can go outside to potty but probably should remain inside except for that. The lease does not preclude that.

No. Not until the lease expires. After it expires, he will probably only offer a new lease with that term, however.
